The lady of the house has no problem with the armament of guns or knives I bring home.
Don't have to hide them when I come into the house fortunately.
Short story, then the "Phrase of the Day".
We were remodeling the kitchen a few years ago and needed 10,000 initial deposit for the contractor for the materials. I went upstairs and brought down a few guns, laid them on the table and said, "here's 10,000" and I'll have the money/cash at the end of the week.
Made a few phone calls and had the 10K in a few days. Handed her the money and she paid the contractor for the materials. She always knew I had money in them, but never knew how much, just that they were expensive.
Now I bring them home and she askes "How much profit do you have in them", instead asking what they cost. She knows I buy them on the cheap from people who need the money for whatever reason.
I'm known to have cash to buy if they are desperate and need it asap.
Built in profit is always good, or I don;t buy them, and now my wife has some idea what kind of money is sitting in the safes between the guns and knives.
She is always disappointed when the boys and I are going to the range as she wants to tag along. The problem is the boys don't want her around as she outshoots most of them with everything except the rifles [ she's a peanut so can't hang em out there for too long without getting "wiggly".]
I lucked out with this woman and it is so refreshing that I'm not hiding anything and can actually show her the toys I'm getting or the knives I'm designing and having made or the custom knives I order.
She knows I'm carzy about her and I proved it by selling three high dollar pieces in a few days so she could have her "new" kitchen. The sacrifices we have to make huh?
BTW Jarhead:--semper fi and I like those ideas, very innovative and not to be unexpected coming from one trained to improvise and survive.
Brownie
I'll get married after I get my Bushmaster.
I have my wife convinced that "one gun a month" isn't a restriction, but a requirement!
